Yes,
alsamixer
(as does my main volume control apppavucontrol
) does show volume as maxed out. It seems there's something after that that messes with the volume. :(By default, alsamixer just shows Pipewire's volume controls. Did you press F6 to switch to your actual audio hardware?
Also, check the volume levels on the individual audio streams. Maybe they got lowered. If all else fails, shutdown pipewire with
sudo systemctl stop pipewire.socket
and delete~/.local/state/wireplumber
to reset everything.
